In 1890, John Ruskin — the most powerful art critic in the Victorian world — accused James McNeill Whistler of 'flinging a pot of paint in the public's face,' and Whistler sued him for libel.

Last episode we watched forgers exploit expert arrogance — this week, we watch two egomaniacs drag that same arrogance into a courthouse and set it on fire.
